Time does not stand still. Views, orders, things, habits, norms of behavior change - people themselves change. It is difficult for our contemporaries to explain how it is possible to "get something", which means "threw out the deficit" and much more. They have everything and everything can be bought, if not in a store, then through the Internet, for sure. And twenty, thirty, forty years ago it was a completely different time. Only those who lived then can understand that life and behavior.
If you look closely at the film "Office Romance", then at almost every step you can see typical things typical for people of that time and generation and absolutely unnatural for modern person. You won't be able to make out everything - it takes too long, but you should dwell on the five most striking ones.
1. Smoking in the workplace
In the film, almost everyone smokes without getting up from their desk. Let's leave the boss alone, since this fact can still be explained in some way. But there is also the secretary, Vera, who does practically the same thing. In the seventies. And it was then that the film was shot, it was the norm, and no one drew attention to smoking in such places of attention. Now we cannot even imagine anything like this.
2. Deal with letters at the local committee
In the USSR, management of the collective and individual employees was entrusted to local committees, party committees, and trade union committees. Today, no one at the meeting will discuss the personal life of an employee (we do not talk about gossip in the smoking room or at lunch, since this phenomenon is almost impossible to eradicate regardless of the time). In the USSR, however, such facts were ubiquitous. Moreover, for immoral behavior, they could be expelled from the party and even dismissed from work by universal suffrage.
Of course, in a number of places there is still a dress code, requirements are put forward not only in appearance, but also in behavior. Even social networks can monitor whether the elementary school teacher has a photograph in a swimsuit. But this comes from the leadership of the institution. Before, everything was different.
3. Unlucky lunch break, just like the store
When Olenka takes off with a string bag to the store so that it does not close, it means that there will soon be a lunch break. It seems strange to us, and at that time in our country there were indeed lunch breaks for shopping. He worked without interruption except that the capital's grocery store, the duty officer. And the shops did not work at night either. So in this regard, we are more and more comfortable.
4. "Get" batnichek
In the USSR, there was a shortage of many things. It was impossible to buy them in the public domain. It is good if there are acquaintances in the trade field and warn or leave that they received such a thing. So you need to pack up and run, even to the other end of the city. You won't see it on the shelves. And if something was thrown out - it was necessary to defend a crazy line. But there was so much joy and emotion when the thing still fell into the hands. That is why Vera was so happy when she managed to get this body shirt.

5. Free trips
Remember how Shura talks about free trips for Novoseltsev's children? So, there really were such. They were given out to rest homes, sanatoriums, and a camp site. Choose what your heart desires. The payment for them was symbolic, but a pleasure for the whole year. It is a pity that this has faded into oblivion.
It will be equally interesting and useful to find out what bloopers and inconsistencies the directors make in Soviet films about the war.
